Summary
  1. John Barton guides members of the Royal Shakespeare Company in a discussion of Shakespeare's use of irony and ambiguity, with illustrated dramatizations. Barton analyzes passages from Shakespeare's texts with the actors, and demonstrates how understanding the intended irony in a phrase or speech totally changes the perception of relationships and the character speaking. Includes passages from Julius Caesar, Richard II, the sonnets, Henry IV Part I, Coriolanus, Henry V and Troilus and Cressida.
